The Suffern native was ordained in 1996 by John Cardinal O’Connor at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Fallon said he came to the priesthood in his 20s after realizing God was calling him to a life of service. “Over time I came to realize that God was calling me to serve in his church,” Fallon said. Fallon said the people of Walden are kind and devoted to their faith. “People have a strong and deep faith with Jesus Christ and are kind and charitable to each other and to strangers,” Fr.
